Cons first: Mostly awful guest stars including Chloe Sevigny.
They only show yet again, the poor quality of actors in the last two to three decades.
Hong Chau, Megan Suri and Colton Ryan, all lame extra material, managing to drag down what could otherwise have been a great second episode. This is what happens when you get people who belong in teen comedies into a tv show.
Lil Rel Howery, Danielle Macdonald in The Stall, so-so or irritating.
Cherry Jones in The Orpheus Syndrome, tedious.
The ho-hum, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, in the otherwise great Sht Mountain.
Judith Light and S. Epatha Merkerson were fairly good in Time of the Monkey. But the acting does not make for repeat viewings.
Benjamin Bratt is adequate as man who pursues Lyonne; Adrien Brody is unremarkable. I think they just need to have villians that look a bit weird but do not much in terms of acting.
The good ones were Ellen Barkin and Tim Meadows in Exit Stage Death; Simon Helberg as FBI agent and Nick Nolte.
I think Nick Nolte and Lyonne would make a great master and assistant team for a new series.
And Natasha Lyonne finally gets a show that is worthy of her talent. Russian Doll wasn't it, and Orange-Black was a prison soap opera for a lame audience.
I'm pleasantly surprised that Rian Johnson, the architect of geek fests like Knives Out and a Star Wars sequel (showcasing noobs like Adam Driver, Daisy Ridley and John Boyega) didn't completely ruin this thing but he nearly did.
But the four best episodes in my book were directed by Lucky McKee, Ben Sinclair, Natasha Lyonne herself and just one by Rian Johnson. None of those were written by him.
Natasha Lyonne gets to shine bringing her old school charm with none of the horrible attempts at real acting that you get from the others here. Even the villians need to have screen presence and charm. See Patrick McGoohan in Columbo episodes. Do you see Cherry Jones having a third of that talent? Absolutely not.
Therefore, CASTING NEEDS MAJOR MAJOR improvement with hopefully no involvement by Rian. Less of the Amy Adams, Tina Fey Vice-Vox crowd.
You need more Nick Nolte like quality. For example, get John Turturro. Ewan McGregor, Pierce Brosnan. Marisa Tomei. Alan Arkin. Oscar Isaac.

This criticism has been made of Sci-fi literature in general, that it focuses too much on empires and kings and slaves in some "futuristic" setting.
It's more or less what I feel about this. I think it might appeal to Lord of the Rings fans or people who like period piece historical drama rubbish.
If royalty watching is your passion with a customary 21st century movie grey backdrop this is for you. Enjoy.

Even more than those 70s exploitation films.
Everything that can go wrong does. And a car being rammed by three vehicles on all sides after the dramatic escape?
And the ending ... I was laughing at this unneccesarily over the top scene. Horrible Lockdown period recommendation by The Guardian.
